KCTCS Online: Learn by Term is an alternative for many students who cannot attend classes on campus due to scheduling conflicts, childcare, work or other commitments, but it is not for everyone.

First, Learn by Term courses require a computer with Internet access and an e-mail account. In addition, online learning requires a certain amount of computer savvy. Learners should know basic word processing, how to send and receive e-mail, and how to make attachments. Learn by Term classes require communication with faculty and other students via e-mail or discussion groups, taking online tests or proctored tests, and submitting various assignments via attachments.

There are many Student Services available to help you succeed. Take advantage of them through your KCTCS Home College! To maximize your Learn by Term knowledge, go to our student tutorial.

Please remember, too, that a friendly, knowledgeable Help Desk is available to answer your questions about your online class. Contact the KCTCS Online Technical Help Desk at any time 24/7.
